Damaged Yet Delightful

Tonight we had #housewars on Twitter and it was one of the most hilarious things EVER.

Here’s the short Tweetsplanation I sent Julia:

@juliapwns a tweet convo between @omgitsjace @sallyslytherin and @slytherykin (and some thrown in by me, @jesuischele and @slythphoenix ) 14 minutes ago from web

@juliapwns …turned into a discussion on which houses were best, we decided Ravenclaw and Slytherin would be an unbeatable team and started 14 minutes ago from web

@juliapwns talking about how we’d win. @sallyslytherin started the #housewars tag and a bunch of us declared allegiance. That’s about it XD 13 minutes ago from web

@juliapwns Just a bunch of smacktalk and far too many Slytherins and Ravenclaws (20+) against like 5 Gryffs/Puffs. Does that help? 13 minutes ago from web

So there was some smacktalk, like this:

sallyslytherin: Slytherin haiku: We are the best/This school is for Salazar/You all can suck itabout 4 hours ago from TweetDeck

Then we realised we could work together and win:

slytherykin : @OMFGItsJace @sallyslytherin I still think we should unite and finally deal with those Gryffindors and Hufflepuffs. We’re the clever houses!about 4 hours ago from web

sallyslytherin: @OMFGItsJace Ravenclaws can plan the fight, Slytherins can fight it. Wow, it’s a perfect marriage of houses!about 4 hours ago from TweetDeck in reply to OMFGItsJace

So started, officially, with this:

sallyslytherin: Why isn’t there a game called Hogwarts House Wars? I’m starting it. Trending topic #housewarsabout 4 hours ago from TweetDeck

THEN:

sallyslytherin: If anyone wants to start the Gryffindor/Hufflepuff Alliance, be my guest. Just know that you will be crushed #housewarsabout 3 hours ago from TweetDeck

And finally:

OMFGItsJace : @glasgirl hahaha. Slytherin/Ravenclaw vs Gryffindor/Hufflepuff shall commence. #housewarsabout 3 hours ago from web in reply to glasgirl

And we were on XDDD

So the Slytherins and Ravenclaws started smacktalking the Hufflepuffs and Gryffindors:

slytherykin : @slythphoenix I tend to just respond with yelling stuff about hitting Hufflepuffs with wooden spoons? THEY LOOK LIKE BEES.about 3 hours ago from web in reply to slythphoenix

slytherykin: Let’s face it, Hufflepuff and Gryffindor are gonna run in without a plan, trip each other up, and then get hexed like woah. #housewarsabout 3 hours ago from web

and poor Shannon was mostly on her own to hold up the other side:

gryffindorgal87 : @LoonyShoshan @glasgirl @sallyslytherin It is my duty to my house to say Gryffindor pwns all. We had Mama Weasley.

gryffindorgal87 : @glasgirl @sallyslytherin Slytherclaw: If you can’t mystify them with your inteligence, mystify them with your bullshit. ;-)about 4 hours ago from txt

and then Sylvie didn’t know WHAT the heck she was doing:

hufflepuff4ever: @glasgirl @omfgitsjace @sallyslytherin Any room for an amazing Hufflepuff in this war?about 4 hours ago from mobile web

huffepuff4ever: I AM PART OF THE SLYTHERIN/RAVENCLAW ALLIANCE BECAUSE I’M COOL. #housewarsabout 4 hours ago from mobile web

hufflepuff4ever: MGNOOOOOO I’M GOING WITH THE GRYFFIE/PUFF ALLIANCE NOWWWW KTHXBAIabout 4 hours ago from mobile web

hufflepuff4ever: WHAT ABOUT HOUSE OF AWESOME????!!!!!about 4 hours ago from mobile web

hufflepuff4ever: HOUSE OF AWESOME WILL PWN ALL THE HOUSES EXCEPT HUFFLEPUFF.about 4 hours ago from mobile web

and then she gave up:

hufflepuff4ever: *backs out of war* Peace, pleasekthanks?about 3 hours ago from mobile web

and the Slytherclaws were victorious:

OMFGItsJace: Seriously, the #housewars are pretty much over, haha. Gryffindor/hufflepuffail ;)about 3 hours ago from web

And thennnn Alex couldn’t let it lie:

theremuslupins: #housewars sorry, i was recording, did i miss the war? i do love a good war..about 3 hours ago from web

theremuslupins: #housewars Well, you cant just HAVE a war. jeez.about 2 hours ago from web

theremuslupins: Always spoiling for a fight, as long as its on your terms, arent you Crion? Bring it . #Housewarsabout 2 hours ago from web

And we started all over again! But by this time, @slytherykin, @slythphoenix and some other people had gone to bed, and @sallyslytherin had gone to work. And we were worried we might LOSE.

And there were a LOT of Gryffinpuffs turned up: like @pipsipirate who couldn’t smacktalk very well, because she’s too awesome:

pipsipirate: @glasgirl Iz a Hufflepuff. i don’t do smacktalk well. #housewars slytherins are smelly?about 1 hour ago from web in reply to glasgirl

and a bunch of random people who Tweeted the “#housewars” tag. And then we were sad. But then @WizardRockDA and @nikkeekristen helped rally the troops, and @obockstal defected to our side, and @sallyslytherin came back, and other people signed up, and OVERALL WE WIN.

And then there was a Facebook group for the survivors: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=79497188633

Because we declared it should be so:

deepwonderment: @GryffindorGal87 someone should make a facebook group for the surving #housewars thing. 33 minutes ago from DestroyTwitter

glasgirl: I vote yes for FB group and the tagline “We who were there will never forget”, shamelessly cribbed from @riddletm “For Jo” XDDD #housewars 24 minutes ago from web

sallyslytherin: @glasgirl I will make it right now! #housewars 24 minutes ago from TweetDeck

And then all the little boys and girls went to bed, except for this one who has to stay up and finish stupid projects - but without which I wouldn’t have been up so late anyway, so maybe it was worth it

I’ll leave you with some of my personal favourite Tweets from the #housewars now:

glasgirl: @slythphoenix Um, yeah XD I’m not sure there is such a thing as a merciful bee. But if they sting you THEY DIE. Just like ‘puffs! #housewarsabout 4 hours ago from web

slytherykin: The only problem is that Granger girl but I am pretty sure she we can take her out by kidnapping Ron or something #housewarsabout 18 hours ago from web

glasgirl: @jesuischele Hahaha yes. We’ll keep our side’s morale up with ambiguous comments and gratuitous nudity, whut?

sallyslytherin: @glasgirl Gratuitous nudity?? I LOVE THIS WAR! SO MUCH! #housewarsabout 3 hours ago from TweetDeck in reply to glasgirl

jesuischele: @glasgirl LOL, doesn’t matters if we’re distracted, we’re winning, but just in case *Puts on a Slytherclaw cheerleader outfit* Go us go! about 3 hours ago from twhirl in reply to glasgirl

glasgirl: @omfgitsjace @gryffindorgal87 You’re right, we’re done. So I’ll just take @jesuischele and her cheerleader outfit into this corner here…about 3 hours ago from web

And why have I chosen to compile this little history?
1) because half the time most of the people didn’t have a clue what the heck was going on XD and
2) gryffindorgal87: @glasgirl I dub thee the offical #housewars historian. Lol!about 2 hours ago from txt

So there you go. History has been made!!

Now go join the Facebook group and pick your side!!!
